i hope you find someone regardless of what paper hangs on their wall. Your feeling of safety and comfort there is the most important thing.

I agree with what Gerber wrote. I think some important things to consider are not necessarily the degree, but the relationship you can form with the T and their therapeutic approach. For example, for me, the CBT approach is not a good fit, regardless of whether a psychologist or therapist is applying it. My current therapist is from the humanistic psychology approach and this is a good fit for me.

I am so sorry you are stuck with the T you don't like for another year. That sounds like torture and totally untherapeutic.

If you are interested in meds, then definitely visit a pdoc.

I have heard that therapists do not like to see clients who are seeing another therapist simultaneously (unless their scope of practice really differs from each other and is complementary: e.g. hypnotherapist and talk-therapist or pdoc and talk-therapist). So it could be difficult to line up a new therapist as long as you are still seeing the one you don't like.
